mlx4: support __GFP_MEMALLOC for rx

Browse Source 
Commit 04aeb56a17 ("net/mlx4_en: allocate non 0-order pages for RX
ring with __GFP_NOMEMALLOC") added code that appears to be not needed at
that time, since mlx4 never used __GFP_MEMALLOC allocations anyway.

As using memory reserves is a must in some situations (swap over NFS or
iSCSI), this patch adds this flag.

Note that this driver does not reuse pages (yet) so we do not have to
add anything else.
